Children's Mental Health Matters

We’re living through a crisis in child and family mental health. Unfortunately, many families in the US struggle to access high-quality care, or support when they need it most. In fact, even though children are diagnosed with mental health challenges at the same rate as adults, around 80% of children don’t get any mental health care at all. Fortunately, resources for child and family mental health exist.

That’s why we’ve gathered a big list of resources for child mental health and family wellness.

Hopefully, these child mental health family resources can provide some support for your family as you continue on your mental health journey.

Please be aware that, if anyone in your family is in crisis, call 911, go to the nearest emergency room, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to reach a 24-hour crisis center, or text 741741 to reach the Crisis Text Line.
